linux Cinnamon with 8.6 and 2013

[jack1]

Over the years my clients have (and still have, in some cases) windows 95 and XP pro on their computers so our Labview executables have been built on our  computers with XP Pro to date.

 Due to Microsoft support ending early this month we have installed LInux Cinammon on a few of our computers in the event that some of our clients might also do this move.

We have to try Labview on these computers yet and wondered if I can expect any problems with Labview runtime engine 8.6 and 2013 also development systems for the same?

The requirements for Linux are listed at http://www.ni.com/labview/requirements/. 

You would need a separate license to rebuild your apps if you could get it installed on your unsupported distro and also face the limited support for drivers such as DAQmx as well.

Thanks Dennis,

Had a look at link and can see that it should work. By separate license, do you mean this is to purchase the 'Labview executable builder' for Linux? Looks like the DAQ element then will be trial and error?

[Dennis_Knutson]

I'm not sure you read everything at that link since your os is not supported.

You cannot just buy the app builder either. You have to also buy the development license for Linux.

Sorry, yes I understand that we will have to load Red Hat Linux instead of Mint Cinnamon from link.

However I mistakenly thought that windows Labview would be ok with Linux and this is obviously not the case, so guess I will have to consider the cost implications.
